Ted Lieu Backs off Impeachment Talk: ‘I Have Not Said the President Should Be Impeached’

‘We look at it and there’s evidence of conspiracy or collusion with the Russians, yes, the president should be impeached or if he committed other crime’

RUSH TRASCRIPT:

LIEU: "I have not said that the president should be impeached. I have said is, if after the investigation special counsel Mueller is done and we look at it and there’s evidence of conspiracy or collusion with the Russians, yes, the president should be impeached or if he committed other crime. Right now we know Michael Cohen testified under oath and implicated the president in committing two felony violations of the campaign finance laws. That’s very serious. In the house, the judiciary Committee needs to hold hearings to see if the president committed these felonies in particular because the department of justice issued guidelines saying they won’t indict a sitting president and it now falls back on the Congress to see if the president in fact committed felonies."
